More quotes by Victor Hugo
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
He does not weep who does not see.
Victor Hugo
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Victor Hugo
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Table talk and Lovers' talk equally elude the grasp Lovers' talk is clouds, table talk is smoke.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
A phenomenon often seen. A sceptic adhering to a believer that is as simple as the law of the complementary colours. What we lack attracts us. Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
Dirt has been shrewdly termed misplaced material.
Victor Hugo
Those who pray always are necessary to those who never pray. In our view, the whole question is in the amount of thought that is mingled with prayer.
Victor Hugo
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.
Victor Hugo
Revolution is the larva of civilization.
Victor Hugo
Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.
Victor Hugo
To love beauty is to see light.
Victor Hugo
They say love is blindness of heart I say not to love is blindness.
Victor Hugo
Nature has made a pebble and a female. The lapidary makes the diamond, and the lover makes the woman.
Victor Hugo
We would be ashamed of our best behavior if the people knew the motives of our behaving so.
Victor Hugo
So a voice in the mountain is enough to let loose an avalanche. A word too much may be followed by a caving in. If the word had not been spoken, it would not have happened.
Victor Hugo
Phenomena intersect to see but one is to see nothing.
Victor Hugo
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.
Victor Hugo
